AdvancTEK is at the forefront of Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) technology. Our expertise as a reaction injection molding manufacturer spans from luxurious, soft-touch interior components to durable, high-impact exterior parts. With three unique RIM systems, we can tailor solutions for a vast array of polyurethane composite applications. Our partnerships across diverse industries have enabled us to turn innovative RIM concepts into reality, ensuring the highest standards of quality and performance.
Reaction injection molding is a versatile manufacturing process that combines two reactive components, mixed together and injected into a mold under high pressure. As the polymer expands, it fills the mold cavity and cures to form a finished product. This process allows for extensive material customization, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. RIM offers significant design flexibility, like injection molding, but with a lower tooling investment, making it an attractive option for many projects.
As a reaction injection molding manufacturer, AdvancTEK offers specialized systems, each tailored to meet specific application requirements.
Vinyl-Clad Rigid (VCR)
Ideal for applications requiring a durable, high-quality surface finish, our VCR system combines the strength of rigid polyurethane with the aesthetic appeal of a vinyl surface. This system is perfect for interior components that must look good and perform under stress.
I-Skin/T-Skin
Our I-Skin and T-Skin systems provide a soft-touch feel with excellent durability. These systems are commonly used in automotive interiors and consumer products where comfort and aesthetics are paramount.
Microcellular Urethane (MCU)
MCU systems offer a fine cellular structure that provides excellent cushioning and impact resistance. This system is ideal for applications such as seating, padding, and protective equipment.
Reaction Injection Molding is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of industries and products:
